October 23, 2009
My name is Bruce Holmes. I have just been shocked to learn of the death of my mentor and inspiration. I was a student of Mr. Ramsdell, my Band Director at Yorktown High School in Arlington, VA in the late 60s and early 70s. I was in his very first jazz band offered as a class. He made many opportunities in music happen for me. Now, at age 53, I still play music regularly. I have wanted to play for him/with him for so many years and am now saddened to learn that it will never happen.
Mr. Ramsdell, you are more important than you ever could have known. I'll miss you...

My name is Khaliah, and i work at the Palmettos,and had the chance to care for Mr. Ramsdell before his death. Though he was a tough cookie, he was also a gentle giant, and i will truly miss him. I will feel so much sadness going to work and not seeing him watch tv, he is one patient i will never forget. R.I.P. Mr. Ramsdell
